Here’s another author/book recommendation for you. I stumbled upon a blog earlier this year and really enjoyed the lady’s writing. She was smart and funny. Her bio listed her occupation as an author so I went to my local library to see if they were available. They did have one and I checked it out immediately and really enjoyed it. The name of the book is Between, Georgia and the author is Joshilyn Jackson.
She is a Southern writer to the core. Being from the deep South, she “knows” these characters personally. It is a complex story of 3 generations of one family in a very small town called “Between, Georgia”.
I received her other 2 books for my birthday back in July and just finished reading them both. Those are Gods In Alabama and The Girl Who Stopped Swimming. Both were excellent, but I think my favorite is The Girl Who Stopped Swimming. I can’t even begin to describe it, but it weaves family drama, mystery and almost a little horror into one story. It was one of those books that I didn’t want to put down until it was finished.
If you are looking for something a little out of the ordinary, please check these out. You won’t be disappointed! Also, check out her website, www.joshilynjackson.com which contains her blog.
